On Sunday, the Portneuf Sangha and Meditation Center will show part 2 of a filmed talk by renowned Vietnamese monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. This 30 minute segment of the film, entitled The Practice of Peace, includes teachings by Nhat Hanh on mindfulness meditation and compassion. Thich Nhat Hanh has been actively teaching about peace and reconciliation for over 40 years, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. for his efforts to end the Viet Nam War. He was exiled from his mother country for 40 years. This remarkable talk was given in 1991.

The morning begins at 10 a.m. with a thirty-minute silent meditation period with guidance offered for those who would like it. After the meditation, the filmed teaching will be shown, and a brief discussion will follow. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome, regardless of meditation experience, and chairs are available, or you may bring your own cushion. There is no charge, and donations are welcomed.
